Diamond Select Toys' Marvel Minimates line has been Minimate-izing everyone's favorite Marvel superheroes since 2003, when the very first assortment was released. So it's only fitting that the first Marvel Minimates-themed comic book cover is of the line's most frequently made character: The Amazing Spider-Man!

In 1996 I made friends with a woman who took the nickname Leonardo on TMNT-L. Before knowing her, I went to SiFi conventions only, though she introduced me to comic book conventions. The first Comic Con I went to was Mid-Ohio Comic Con, I’ve only been to that event a few times.

Normally, Michele is the convention-goer of Cowabunga Corner. This year, though, I ventured down to Atlanta, GA for Dragon*Con. It’s the largest convention I’m ever planning on attending.  It’s fairly massive, covering four full days and taking place in five hotels. I didn’t get off to a good trip this year as I did some damage to my car when I went over a rock on the interstate and being in Georgia, well, lets just say I hate humidity.

Even though life has been a tad bit chaotic lately, I still like to take the time to go watch a movie and relax. I watch previews and read up on certain movies during their production and judge whether or not that movie is perfect for turning off my brain and having a good time while watching. One such movie out right now is The Avengers. It’s already been out for a full week in the United States and it has been dominating any and all competition with good reason!

For the last couple of years, one of the things I have wanted to do is attend Comic-Con (San Diego Comic-Con International) and I thought this year would be the year that I would make this goal a reality. However, a couple of months ago I was invited to an important event happening during the same weekend, so once again this year no Comic-Con for me. But then I learned of a new Morgan Spurlock documentary coming out called "Comic-Con: Episode IV – A Fan’s Hope" that would be about Comic-Con.
